I am sorry for your loss. Us 4-H kids are going to miss him at the fair. Last year he helped me with my calf that was being stubborn in the show ring. That was very nice of him. It meant a lot to me.

Vicki & Andrew - along with the Knipper family:
My deepest sympathies to you on Dave's death. If he doesn't make it up to heaven, the rest of us don't have a snowball's chance! May God bless and provide comfort for you during the days and weeks ahead. Dave was always good to offer a helping hand or bring a smile to my face, especially when he mowed the yard in his shit-kickers.
Sincerely,
Tom, Olivia, Isaac, & Isabel Frisch

Words can not express our sadness at the loss of such a fine person. We have known Dave for years through his business and kept up semi annually on his life and family. Most obvious was his love of family. We so enjoyed his stories of Andrew and his sporting accomplishments. The joy in his voice and face were contagious.
He dealt with his illness as he did with life, with openness and honesty.
Truly a good one gone too soon!!!

Although it is extremely difficult to say good bye, I feel blessed to have so many special memories of this great guy! From playing together on the Beckman football team, to working side by side for a few summers on the Knipper farm, to Janet and I double dating with Dave and Vicki at the homecoming dance, and to a bittersweet Friday afternoon we spent together less than two weeks ago, Dave and I have shared laughter and friendship and for this I am very grateful. To Vicki, Andrew and the whole Knipper Family: Janet and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Many wonderful memories of Dave growing up. He loved to tease and always smiled so wide you thought his face would break. Will remember that smile whenever I think of Dave and the Knipper family.

I would like to offer my condolences to you and your family. I worked with Dave at Prairie State for a little over a year, and finally got to meet him last month. He made me feel welcomed via the phone. We would joke every time he called and I got to know him a little when we did speak. He will be missed by all. I am glad that I got to meet him. I pray for you and your family during this tough time.

I am so sorry to hear this. I had no clue. When I worked at the Franklin Hotel I loved to wait on him!!! We all did and knew exactly what he wanted. Noon special and one scoop vanilla ice cream. I thought my days off seeing him we're over then started working at Main Street Market in Coggon where he had come in on Monday of this week and got the noon special. And also enjoyed seeing him at local Fairs helping in the dairy shows!!!

You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I have many fond memories of Dave and all of you while growing up on the farm, watching neighbors help each other with farm work, playing euchre in the back of the school bus with my brothers, 4-H with my brothers, etc.
May you find comfort in treasured memories.
